BACKWOODS PADDLESPORTS
Launch Locations
Backwoods Paddlesports
The Trinity is the longest river entirely contained within the state of Texas.
You can explore the city's main waterway via self-propelled navigation thanks
to vendors like Backwoods Paddlesports who offer kayak, canoe and paddleboard
rentals on sunny days or launch your excursion from several locations along the
river.
A special thanks to the Tarrant Regional Water District (TRWD) for making river
recreation a priority in addition to maintaining the Trinity Trails and
riverside entertainment events.

If you're looking to explore the river with your own kayak or canoe, there are
seven self-launch locations in Fort Worth. In East Fort Worth, go just north of
I-30 on Beach Street and park in the Rowing Club lot to access the launch site
near Gateway Park. Head west to access the remainder of sites: two at Panther
Island Pavilion, two off Trinity Park, one near Woodshed Smokehouse and one at
the White Settlement Trailhead. View the image above for more info.
That's right! As of April 1st,we will be operating 7 days/week. With the extended
hours come our new weekday rates of $12.00/hour for adults and $8.00/hour for
kids 12 years of age and under. These weekday prices are valid Monday-Thursday.
But wait… there's more! We are introducing two new weekday discounts! "1/2 Off
Humpday" will offer ½ price watercraft rentals ALL DAY, EVERY WEDNESDAY. This
discount is good for kids, adults and all watercraft types.
Hey TCU students, we thought of you too! Thursday at Backwoods Paddlesports
will now be "Student Thursdays". Take advantage of $5.00 off your watercraft
rental with ANY valid student ID. *One discount per ID*
We are super excited to be operating every day and we hope you are too! As a
reminder, we are open 10am-7pm, with the last rentals sent out at 6pm each day.
Happy paddling!
